Pennant From A Negro League East Vs. West All-Star Game

Souvenir from one of the annual East-West All-Star Games for Negro league baseball players during the era of racial segregation. This game was played at Comiskey Park, Chicago, Illinois. The pennant is a dark red felt with beige ink text and designs. At the far left of the pennant, a beige piece of fabric runs the length of the edge. Next to the fabric is a depiction of a baseball player holding a bat. Lettering above and below the baseball player reads: [Comiskey Park / Chicago, Ill.]. Beige ink stars surround the depiction of the player and run from one end of the pennant to the other. Lettering at center reads: [East vs. West / All-Star / Baseball Game]. Artist Unknown.
